Hi guys!I'm trying to integrate Test Execute with Jenkins to test the UI of my .NET application.I am using a slave machine which gets the project from SVN and afterwards, in the build step (which is not required for my app), I run a batch command which starts the test suite with TestExecute.The issue is that after the batch command is executed, Jenkins says that the project is finished but in fact the tests are just starting to run and I don't know when the tests are finished or what is the progress of the test execution (~15h long).I have two questions:1. Is there any way in which I could keep the Jenkins "bullets" flashing until TestExecute finishes to run the test suite?2. Is there any way in which I could write the progress (I already have a progress determination system setup) in Jenkins' console output while the test suite is running?I really need to do this, so if you have any ideas please don't hesitate to post them.Thanks a lot,Sergiu

Hi Sergiu,I don't know the contents of your batch file, but hope that the following might help:start /wait "TestExecute" "<TestProject.pjs>" /testOptions(the /wait option should postpone batch execution until TestExecute completes)

Why don't you just have the testexecute command?e.g.testexecute C:\Testing\TestComplete\Project.pjs /run /project:TestProject /unit:Control /routine:RemoteTest /exit /ns /SilentMode

> Can you set the TestExecute flag to NOT open the results and see what happens?To do this, just start TestExecute, right-click on its icon in the tray, click Options menu item and for the Log entry clear the Activate After Run option (or something like that - don't have TE at hand at the moment).

Hi guys,Just wanted to let you know that SmartBear support gave me a hint to solve this and it worked!I just added my tested app's process to the process filter and set it to 'Use only selected processes' and TextExecute.exe terminated on time.The issue was that I had the option 'Use only tested apps' set up but I have another app which syncs data with the server and this app does not exit, it stays in sys tray....probably TE was waiting for it too.I've also setup my Jenkins job to run this batch:start /wait TestExecute.exe "C:\Jenkins\workspace\MY_PROJECT\IProject.pjs" /run /exit /SilentMode /DoNotShowLog /ForceConversion /nsand it works great!Thanks again for all you help, I really appreciate it!-Sergiu

Hi Alexei,I'm using the option "Execute Windows batch command" in the build step from Jenkins and it looks like this:@ECHO OFFCLStasklist /fi "imagename eq TestExecute.exe" |find ":" > nulif errorlevel 1 ( taskkill /f /im TestExecute.exe )start TestExecute.exe "C:\Jenkins\workspace\MY_PROJECT\IProject.pjs" /p:"Poject_Name" /r /e@ECHO OFFCLSI've included /wait like this:@ECHO OFFCLStasklist /fi "imagename eq TestExecute.exe" |find ":" > nulif errorlevel 1 ( taskkill /f /im TestExecute.exe )start /wait TestExecute.exe "C:\Jenkins\workspace\MY_PROJECT\IProject.pjs" /p:"Poject_Name" /r /e@ECHO OFFCLSBut this isn't working as I would like:The Jenkins "bullet" is flashing but it keeps flashing even if the test run is completed and the .MHT file generated by TestExecute is displayed on screen.Is there some exit code thrown by TestExecute after an execution is finished (when the MHT report is displayed) which I can catch and wait for it somehow using a batch command?Thanks for the quick reply,Sergiu

Hi Nick,I've used this set of commands:cd "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestExecute 9\Bin" testexecute "C:\Jenkins\workspace\MY_PROJECT\Project.pjs" /run /project:"Poject_Name" /exit /ns /SilentModeBut I'm experiencing the same issue as with Alexei's idea.I don't understand why is it still waiting for something instead of finishing...Thanks for the quick reply,Sergiu

It seems that even if I manually start and run a project and after it finishes I right click the TestExecute icon from system tray and choose "Exit" it's the same behavoir.... the process isn't closed although the icon is not present anymore in system tray.

Strangely engough if I try to start TestExecute again, it says "TestComplete 9, TestExecute 9 or an applciation that uses TestRecorder 9 is already running".

So, I guess it's a bug. Any ideas on how to go around this?

Thanks,

Sergiu

Is there also an active background process for the application you are testing?

Maybe that's not closing properly and keeping TE active.

Hi Nick,

That's not the case.

My last test has a sequence which closes the app and if it's not closed in time, it terminates the process associated with the app.

I've submitted a support request with SmartBear on this isssue and I'm curious if they can fix it.

Thanks,

Sergiu

Hey Guys,

Anyone knows how to terminate "testcomplete.exe" in a batch file?

taskkill does not work with testcomplete, I guess it does not have permissions or something...

Reason: Acess is denied

Hey Guys,

I guess you have some permission issue with your windows user. I can kill testcomplete and testexecute normally without any effort. I always test my app with admin users.

The batch file looks like this:

call:killProcesses

::---------------------------------------------

::-- General functions-------------------

::---------------------------------------------

:killProcesses - Wait 3 minutes before killing all tasks

echo.

echo Killing IE, Excel, TestExecute and TestCompleteService...

echo.

timeout /T 180

taskkill /im TestExecute.exe /t /f

taskkill /im TestCompleteService9.exe /t /f

taskkill /im TestComplete.exe /t /f

taskkill /im iexplore.exe /t /f

taskkill /im excel.exe /t /f

echo.

GOTO:EOF
